Still having night sweats after appendectomy

My appendix ruptured, but I didn’t go to the doctor for three weeks.  I was only in pain for the first few days, but knew something was wrong because I had terrible night sweats. They performed a laparoscopic appendectomy and removed a little bit of infection from the area. I spent seven days in the hospital.  I’ve now been home for 18 days and I’m still having terrible night sweats. They’ve done bloodwork, urinalysis and a CT scan and say they cannot find nothing wrong.  My white count is normal, I never have a fever, and the CT scan shows no sign of infection or an abscess. What in the world could be going on?!

Hello~I am so sorry you are having this issue. To be honest, I really don't know why you are having them still, my first inclination was still some infection left, but you said they did the blood work and none was found.

I wish I could offer some suggestion, but I just don't know. Sometimes, they can due to fluctuations of hormones, but that is normally during menopause.
